GAS-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 753,871, dated March 8, 1904. Application filed September 19,1903. Serial No. 173,880- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES T. FULLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Olean, in the county of Cattaraugus and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Burners; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,'reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the let ters of reference marked thereon, which form p cation of the invention the gas is conducted a part of this specification. I

This invention relates to a gas-burner attachment, and particularly to a coupling adapted for application to an ordinary pipe-fixture by which a plurality of burners may be applied to a single service-pipe.

The invention has for anobject to provide a coupling which can be reversed in position, thus providing for a bracket or wall lamp or application to a hanging fixture by a reversal of the parts of the coupling.

Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth and the novel features thereof defined by the appended claim.

In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation showing the invention applied to a bracketfixture. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the invention applied to a hanging fixture. Fig.

3 is a detail perspective of the coupling: as used in Fig. 2. Fig. 4: is a similar view of the conducting-pipe for the coupling, and Fig. 5 is a perspective of the shell within which the pipe is placed. Fig. 6 is ayertical section through the parts assembled as shown in Fig. 2. Irike letters refer to like parts in the several figures of the drawings.

Referring to the application of the inven- 'tion shown in Fig. l, the letter A designates a service-pipe or bracket-fixture of the ordinary constructionwhich is provided with a threaded connecting-post A at its outer end. The coupling is applied to this post by means of the conducting-pipe B, which is interiorly threaded, as at B, and may be provided upon its periphery with a suitably-roughened surface B toassist in securing the same in position.

The conducting-tube is also provided between its ends with a series of discharge-openings .tube within the casing C. This casing is provided with a plurality of radiating pipe connections C, of which any desired number may be used, they being provided at their outer ends with burners C of any desired or preferred construction, preferably the ordinary Welsbach burner now in use. In this appliupward through the tube and discharged to the burners,so that a plurality of burners may be applied to an ordinary bracket-fixture for the purpose of securing the most light therefrom.

In the application of the invention shown in Fig. 2 the position of the conducting-tube B is completely reversed into the position shown in Figs. 3 and 6, so that the flow of gas is downward from the hanging pipe A to whichthe threaded end of the conductingpipe is applied, while the burner-fixtures may be of a similarconstruction to that disclosed in connection with Fig. 1'.

The operation of the invention will be apparent from the foregoing description, and it will be seen that a coupling ispresented which is simple in construction and provides for the use or application of a plurality of burners upon a single fixture, while the position of the coupling device relative to the fixture may be reversed, so as to render it equally applicable to either bracket or hanging fixtures. The invention is alsocapable of application by an unskilled person, as it only requires to be screwed upon the ordinary'fixture after the removal of the tip-burner.

It will be obvious that changes may be made inthe details of construction and configuration without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended' claim.

Having described my invention'and set forth its merits, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A valve apparatus for gas-fixtures comprising a valve-chamber G with radiating pipes communicating therewith, a hollow detachable coupling B interiorly chambered mountthe interior chambered portion of the coupling 1 ed in a vertical aperture in said chamber, the having threads and a threaded pipe adapted inner end of said coupling being closed and to be fitted thereto, as shown and described.

having circumferential threads, the Walls of the coupling being apertured, a threaded cap fitted over the inner end of said coupling, the opposite end of the coupling being shouldered and adapted to rest against the top of said chamber and having its circumference milled,

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
